Gian-Carlo Rota, 1932-1999 Professor of Applied Mathematics and Philosophy, Norbert Wiener Professor of Mathematics In recognition of Gian-Carlo Rota's long service and contributions to the M.I.T. department of mathematics, there will be a one day conference devoted to Rota's memory. This event will take place on October 9th, 1999, and will be part of the 50th anniversary celebration of the Moore Instructorship M.I.T. has established a memorial fund for the purpose of honoring Gian-Carlo Rota's legacy. Assuming that the funds raised are sufficient, we plan to use the money to underwrite the construction of a ``Rota Reading Room'' in the M.I.T. library. This room would house a selection of the many books which Rota contributed to M.I.T. over the years as well as some of the other interesting and rare volumes in the M.I.T. archives. It is our intention to create an attractive space which will be a resource for everyone. If you would like to contribute, please make your checks payable to MIT/Gian-Carlo Rota Memorial Fund and send it to: Paula Duggins, Administrative Officer

Gian-Carlo Rota Internationally recognized mathematician and beloved professor, Gian-Carlo Rota died last weekend, apparently in his sleep. He was 66 years old. Rota was found Monday afternoon after he failed to arrive in Philadelphia Sunday afternoon, where he was to give a three-part lecture series at Temple University earlier this week. The cause of death was ruled as artherosclerotic cardiac disease by the Middlesex County Medical Examiner. Rota held appointments at MIT as professor both of applied mathematics and philosophy, the only MIT professor in history to do so. He taught several courses in both fields. As a mathematician, Rota helped lay the foundations for modern combinatorics and develop the field into a respected discipline within mathematics. Rota was also a philosopher working in the 20th century continental tradition of phenomenology. His most recent book Indiscrete Thoughts, published by Birkhauser has been nominated by the 1999 Edwin Goodwin Ballard Book Prize in phenomenology presented by the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy. A great teacher At MIT, however, Rota is probably best known as a great teacher.

A Century of Mathematics in America, Part III, History of Mathematics, Volume 3, P. Duren, Ed., pp.223-236, American Mathematical Society, 1989. Gian-Carlo Rota was born in Italy, where he went to school through the ninth grade. He attended high school in Quito, Ecuador, and entered Princeton University as a freshman in 1950. Three years later, he graduated summa cum laude and went to Yale, where he received a Ph.D. in 1956 with a thesis in functional analysis under the direction ofJ. T. Schwartz. After a position at Harvard, in 1959 he moved to MIT, where he is now professor of mathematics and philosophy. He has made basic contributions to operator theory, ergodic theory, and combinatorics. The AMS recently honored him with a Steele Prize for his seminal work in algebraic combinatorics. He is a senior fellow of the Los Alamos National Laboratory and a member of the National Academy of Sciences.

Giovanni Rota was a prominent anti-fascist and his name appears on a death list constructed by Mussolini. Gian-Carlo was born into a talented family in Vigevano, many members of his family had achieved fame in their areas of expertise, for example one of Gian-Carlo's uncles, Flaiano, wrote scripts for Federico Fellini's films, including La Dolce Vita. Gian-Carlo was educated in Italy up to the age of thirteen in 1945. This was near the end of World War II and, due to Giovanni Rota's anti-fascist views, the family was forced to leave Vigevano to escape Mussolini's death squads. Giovanni Rota took his family to northern Italy where they hide for a time before crossing the border into Switzerland. The family eventually escaped to Ecuador where Gian-Carlo completed his secondary school education. The positive side to this remarkable escape story was that Rota was fluent in English, Italian, Spanish and French. Rota entered the United States in 1950 at the age of eighteen to undertake his university studies. He entered Princeton University in 1950 and received a BA summa cum laude in 1953. After graduating, Rota entered Yale University where he studied for his Master's Degree in Mathematics which was awarded in 1954. He then undertook doctoral studies, supervised by Jacob T Schwartz, and he was awarded a PhD from Yale in 1956 for his thesis

MIT WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1998 Rota reflects on math and mathematicians By Denise Brehm News Office Behind most great science and engineering discoveries stands the work of a host of mathematicians. But their research, like the support of a silent consort, often goes unrecognized. Gian-Carlo Rota, professor of applied mathematics and philosophy the sole MIT claimant to that title is not silent. His interest in communicating with mathematicians, as well as the rest of us, has manifested itself in some very public ways. He spoke at Family Weekend this year ("Ten Predictions about Science") and last year ("Ten Lessons of an MIT Education"), was the Killian Lecturer in 1997 ("Mathematical Snapshots"), speaker at the Provost's Seminar in 1998 ("Ten Remarks on Husserl and Phenomenology"), and presenter of the 1998 American Mathematical Society (AMS) Colloquium Lectures a series of three talks presented each year by one of the world's most eminent mathematicians, according to the AMS. Professor Rota also engages people, very graciously, on an individual level. He's known among students for his accessibility and his clear presentation of material in his math and philosophy courses. He's also respected for his deep understanding of those subjects and revered for his love of communicating.

The name also refers to Germanic mythology in general, as it is part of the old Germanic belief system. In Scandinavia, it held on the longest, and in rural areas, fragments of the belief lingered until modern times. It was not a formalized religion based on a book written by a prophet, but a collection of similar beliefs shared by Germanic tribes. The information about the gods, their roles and their relationships was transmitted orally. Today, the mythology is a source of inspiration in literature (see Norse mythological influences on later literature), and as a system of belief it has been revived as the Ásatrú or Odinism.

Gian-Carlo Rota (1932-1999) One of Gian-Carlo Rota's virtues lay in the fact that he was welcoming not just to a few intimates, but to a large community of mathematicians. In that sense, there is nothing ``special'' about the following recollections, however precious I find them. Any of his students and very many who were not will recognize their experiences here. all of them.'' But one of the first papers I do remember reading was Rota's paper with Joni on coalgebras and bialgebras in combinatorics; I still remember the excitement I had seeing children's puzzles put into an algebraic framework. It was the ability to ask ``Why?'' in mathematics and actually get a solid answer that first attracted me to math. It was Rota's attention to answering that ``Why?'' in as deep a way as possible that convinced me to be a combinatorialist. I remember Rota's characteristic generosity: The research problems he shared freely, not just with his graduate students, but with anyone he talked to or taught; the dinners out at good trying to hide your techniques from your readers?'' By the time that weekend was over, the techniques, and the paper were clear.
